Listing description

Detailed description
Uses
The active ingredients in feverfew include parthenolide. There has been some
scientific interest in parthenolide, which has been shown to induce apoptosis in some cancer cell
lines in vitro and potentially to
target cancer stem cells. There are no
published studies of parthenolide or feverfew in humans with cancer. The
parthenolide content of commercially available feverfew supplements varies
substantially, by over 40-fold, despite labeling claims of
"standardization". A study found that the actual parthenolide content
of these supplements bore little resemblance to the content claimed on the
product label.[14]
Long-term use of feverfew followed by abrupt
discontinuation may induce a withdrawal syndrome featuring rebound headaches and muscle and joint
pains. Feverfew can cause
allergic reactions, including contact dermatitis. Other side effects
have included gastrointestinal upset such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain,
diarrhea, and flatulence. When the herb is chewed or taken orally it can cause mouth ulcers and swelling and
numbness of the mouth. Feverfew should not
be taken by pregnant women. It may interact with blood thinners and increase the
risk of bleeding, and may also interact with a variety of medications
metabolized by the liver.
